OPEN - GREAT HALL
Mandy was up to here with schoolwork. Sure she super ecstatic that she did good on her OWLs but all these NEWT level classes were making it hard for her. She was a Ravenclaw dang it and she knew she could do it, but sometimes she knew she was going to need something to distract her or else she would have a breakdown. Most of her friends were in the same boat that she was in so she really couldn't turn to them. Her mother was busy at the hospital and Drew, well they were still not really talking much which killed her every day. Even her friends noticed that something wasn't the same with her when they all came back to school.
Mandy hoped that maybe a new study location would help to get her back on track so she decided to skip this library this week and go with most of the students down to study in the Great Hall. You were able to group up and usually at least sometimes talk to each other but Mandy didn't know if she would have time for that. She had all her school books piled up and she was carrying them, not even able to look straight over them. This is when a boyfriend would come in handy. She made it through the entrance to the Great Hall and almost to a table when the top book fell and she groaned, not having any idea how to get it.
